Chapter 70: The Road to Return
Zhao Xu, who was standing in Hurricane City, re-felt the familiarity of a bustling commercial town without traces of magic.
This is more like the world in which the vast majority of Arthur's people live.
Hurricane City is considered a hub city north of the Tianduan Mountains.
The city, which is said to have been destroyed by a legendary mage with a storm spell, has become bustling after nearly a hundred years of reconstruction.
Every day, countless caravans in the city set off or return here, transporting supplies from dozens of towns under the jurisdiction of the entire "Tianbei Business Alliance".
But after the familiarity, Zhao Xu looked at the map of the entire Tianduan Mountain Range area in his hand, and still felt a little headache.
The task given to him by Antinoia was simple-
She threw Zhao Xu from Mystra south of the Tianduan Mountains to Hurricane City north of the Tianduan Mountains.
Let him, a Level 1 character, go back to Mystra, the capital of magic, without teleporting.
The distance between the two large towns is hundreds of miles in a straight line alone, not to mention the huge risk of crossing the Tianduan Mountain Range.
With the power of the "Tianbei Business Alliance", it has not yet been able to open up a safe post road.
Zhao Xu estimated that when he returned to Mystra in half a month, he would be promoted to a level 2 mage, and another career line would also be able to advance to a dossier scholar.
In the last six years of his previous life, Zhao Xu had participated in countless wild adventures, and he was not worried at all when it came to his experience.
The only problem is that his health and error tolerance are not enough.
After Zhao Xu was promoted to a monk, his life dice had become a D6 of a monk, although it was not as good as the D8 of a traditional priest, but it was still enough to dislike the D4 of a monk.
His health is now 8HP, which is a huge increase of 2 points, and his waist pole is also 2 points stiffer.
Legendary mages with 1HP dare to run rampant in Arthur, because others have the capital to be immune to all kinds of damage.
Zhao Xu's 8hp, not to mention receiving a round of concentrated fire in the wild, just a little aftermath was enough for him to go to the Creation Temple.
However, death is also another way for Zhao Xu to complete the task, anyway, he will be resurrected in Mystra.
It's just that, I'm afraid he won't get any good rewards in the future, and it will greatly delay his own upgrade progress.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu still carried his Howard convenience bag to the secret alley in the north of the city.
This latest piece of information is appearing on the information panel of Zhao Xu's character card at this moment.
[Adventurer Midsummer to take the Monk Priest 'Knowledge' test, the test result = 1 (Priest) + 3 (Intelligence) + D20 = 1 + 3 + 8 = 11, greater than 10DC, get 'Generally Widespread Rumors'. The details are as follows......]
Monastic priests are weaker than traditional priests in terms of force and culture.
"Knowledge" is the unique ability of a monk priest, and similar to the "anecdotal knowledge" of a bard, Zhao Xu's knowledge and skills are not to mention low, and they are more inclined to specific problems.
Therefore, it is not as fast as the ability to "learn" to understand local legends directly.
He immediately knew directly through those general rumors that it was most convenient for him to go.
The location of the secret alley in the north of the city is very remote, and the surrounding buildings are densely adjacent, and the whole area lacks direct sunlight, and the ground is a little damp.
A few minions-looking people stood at the corner of the street chatting, and after glancing at Zhao Xu's clothes, they didn't pay attention to it.
It's just that Zhao Xu's target is exactly them, he walked straight over and asked in a low voice, "I need a ticket to the 'Southern Capital'." ”
Nandu is in Hurricane City, which refers to the magical city of Mystrana.
Mistella is too famous for ordinary people to mention his real name.
One of them, tall and thin, the leader of a linen shirt, looked at Zhao Xu in a robe, and said disdainfully: "What kind of capital do you have?" ”
"Spellcaster, take me to your head." Zhao Xu said lightly.
The original contemptuous attitude of several people around suddenly froze, and the leader lowered his eyebrows and said, "This lord, please come with me." ”
Zhao Xu didn't make much noise and followed.
Returning to these mortal towns, Zhao Xu's experience from his previous life began to be useful again.
No longer as if facing Antinoja, he was just a teachable student.
These people dressed as minions, he judged from the knowledge of the other party's body shape at a glance that most of them were ordinary people who had not received professional training, that is, first-class civilians.
Even the most basic first-level martial artist can't reach it.
And the warrior is already a weakened version of the warrior.
If you can't be a warrior, you can turn to a warrior with lower requirements, which is the ecology of Arthur's most common people.
Zhao Xu walked for about ten minutes, and then came to a lively tavern, which was also the location of "Caesar", the leader of the underground forces in the secret alley.
When he went upstairs, Zhao Xu estimated that the surrounding environment was indeed in place.
However, when Zhao Xu went to a place where he was unfamiliar with his life, he thought that he would first estimate the route to break through.
He had three killer weapons in his backpack that Antinoya had given him, and each one was rewarded once.
But if it's really inappropriate, he will not hesitate to use it.
Caesar, who was originally sitting in a corner chatting with his buddies, sat up slightly straighter after hearing the report of his subordinates, and looked at Zhao Xu, "Are you going to Nandu?" ”
Zhao Xu nodded.
"Earth player?" Caesar, an ordinary person, could tell at a glance.
After a month of nurturing, Arthur's natives are now accustomed to calling this group of Earth adventurers players.
It was Zhao Xu's temperament that made Caesar hesitate a little and think that he was an Arthurian resident like them.
"That's right." Zhao Xu said.
Players have not yet intervened too many forces, and many forces also like to arrange players to be peripheral fighters.
Dare to fight hard and not be afraid of death, and it is very affordable.
"Heh, you earth players should know what the situation is in the Tiannan Mountain Range now?"
"I know that the two towns at the foot of the North Mountain are trying to break away from the Shang Alliance, and basically the regular business travelers have given up their plans to cross the Tiannan Mountain Range in the near future, which is why I came to you."
At this time, only the smuggling team of these underground forces dared to venture across the Tianduan Mountain Range.
They are the only ones who are not afraid of the black and dare to take outsiders on the road.
"It seems that I inquired about it again, so Mr. Spellcaster, how much are you willing to pay to buy such a ticket?" Caesar thought for a moment and said.
Zhao Xu, who was a sheriff in his previous life, had more than once served as the lair of this kind of underground force, and no less than three of them were killed by him on the spot.
In addition, he still has a killer weapon in his backpack at the moment, and he has enough psychological advantages.
If you really want to bargain, he can also collect an escort fee in return.
It's just that these are things outside of his body, and it's more important for him to get to Mystra.
"When there's a fight, I'll join in and provide spell support. But if the situation is not for me, I will get out of the fight on my own. ”
Hearing the other party's words, Caesar was relieved, this was his bottom line.
It's not hard to really turn around and kill this spellcaster, but the follow-up trouble is too great.
A few days ago, one of the forces next door habitually stole the wallet of a player on the earth, and was discovered by the other party.
The head of the thief on the spot summoned people to drive the players away.
Who knew that night, the female adventurer would be able to gather dozens of adventurers of various professions to desperately surround and kill the thief organization.
It made the whole Secret Alley talk about the players almost changing color.
They are open to make money, not to invite trouble.
"Those earth adventurers under the bar are also going to Nandu together, I think you are probably the same identity as them, and you will join their team and act together."
